“Not in the sense of confessionals and shameful deeds, but in the sense of self-loathing translated into madness. The sin of a psyche revolting against its own free will, tagging every human interaction with scarring scabs of meanness while inwardly cowering from inadequacy and fear. This sin has been imposed on him and he bought into it, which in itself is the most sinful fall from grace a human being can take.” FearSinGraceHuman NatureSelf AwarenessSelf WorthSelf LoathingAmie Martine Book:The Look of Amie Martine Source: The Look of Amie Martine
“It’s neutral creative territory; it’s where we meet when we really want to connect and elevate the game. We’re not here to impose our brand on each other, but to experience, like embodied spiritual hedonists, the richness of what it means to be — well, what it means to exist, period.” ActorsActingConsciousnessHuman NatureMeaning Of LifePurposeful LivingAmie MartineExpanding Evolving Consciousness Book:The Look of Amie Martine Source: The Look of Amie Martine

“It's a curse to have traumas imprinted in our wiring, to accept that what we fear and grieve and impale ourselves upon from day to day defines the way we translate the chemistry of emotions into a fixed identity wired for suffering. It's also a marvelous asset, our malleability. When the imprinting experience is loving, exciting, rich and worthy of our more expansive nature, we align pleasurably with harmony and bliss. But let's face it, we're humans. Disasters entertain our brains far more than comforts, ease and joy ever will. No one straps into the ride for the smoothness of it all going well.” SufferingBrainHuman NatureAddictionEntertainmentTraumaBlissEmotional IntelligencePtsd Book:The Look of Amie Martine Source: The Look of Amie Martine
